Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I am a newbie to the forum and wanted to share my halfway done SAL. I'm just getting back into stitching after a couple of years doing not that much, and this was the project that I was doing when I hit my stitching slump -- it was intended for my grandfather, who died when I was doing it, which may go some way to explaining the slump! However! I've picked it up again and am having fun with it, and I plan to give it to my grandmother as a kind of memorial gift.

This is what it should look like when it's done:



And this is what it looks like as of today:

This is lovely. The finished piece will be beautiful, and you have done a really fine job so far. I will be looking forward to seeing your updates on this one. The colors are great.
